Job 26

1 Then Job answered, and said:

Ningĩ Ayubu agĩcookia atĩrĩ:

2 Whose helper art thou? is it of him that is weak? and dost thou hold up the arm of him that has no strength?

“Kaĩ ũrĩ gũteithia ũrĩa ũtarĩ na ũhoti-ĩ! Kaĩ ũrĩ kũhonokia guoko kũrĩa gũtarĩ na hinya-ĩ!

3 To whom hast thou given counsel? perhaps to him that hath no wisdom, and thou hast shewn thy very great prudence.

Kaĩ ũrĩ gũtaara mũndũ ũtarĩ na ũũgĩ-ĩ! Na atĩrĩ, kaĩ nĩwonanĩtie ũmenyo mũnene-ĩ!

4 Whom hast thou desired to teach? was it not him that made life?

Nũũ wagũteithia kwaria ciugo icio? Na nĩ roho waũ waria na kanua gaku?

5 Behold the giants groan under the waters, and they that dwell with them.

“Arĩa akuũ marĩ na ruo rũnene, o acio marĩ rungu rwa maaĩ na kĩrĩa gĩothe gĩtũũraga kuo.

6 Hell is naked before him, and there is no covering for destruction. (Sheol h7585)

Gĩkuũ nĩkĩguũranie mbere ya Ngai; mwanangĩko ũikarĩte ũtarĩ mũhumbĩre. (Sheol h7585)

7 He stretched out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

Atambũrũkagia matu ma mwena wa gathigathini igũrũ rĩa kũndũ gũtarĩ kĩndũ; nayo thĩ ndarĩ kĩndũ amĩcunjurĩtie nakĩo.

8 He bindeth up the waters in his clouds, so that they break not out and fall down together.

Athayaga maaĩ thĩinĩ wa matu make, no matu macio matingĩtembũrwo nĩ ũritũ wamo.

9 He withholdeth the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud over it.

Ahumbagĩra ũthiũ wa mweri rĩrĩa waiganana, agatambũrũkia matu make igũrũ rĩaguo.

10 He hath set bounds about the waters, till light and darkness come to an end.

Nĩekĩrĩte rũkiriri igũrũ rĩa maaĩ, rũkahakania ũtheri na nduma.

11 The pillars of heaven tremble, and dread at his beck.

Itugĩ iria itiirĩrĩire igũrũ nĩ ithingithaga, ikagegearaga nĩ ũndũ wa ikũũmana rĩake.

12 By his power the seas are suddenly gathered together, and his wisdom has struck the proud one.

Nĩoirugire maaĩ ma iria na ũndũ wa hinya wake; na nĩ ũndũ wa ũũgĩ wake nĩatinaangirie Rahabu tũcunjĩ.

13 His spirit hath adorned the heavens, and his obstetric hand brought forth the winding serpent.

Mĩhũmũ yake nĩyo yathakaririe igũrũ; guoko gwake nĩ gwatheecire nyoka ĩrĩa ĩnyororokaga na ihenya.

14 Lo, these things are said in part of his ways: and seeing we have heard scarce a little drop of his word, who shall be able to behold the thunder of his greatness?

Atĩrĩrĩ, ĩno no mĩthia ya mawĩra make; kaĩ no kamũheehũ kanini tũiguaga ka ũhoro wake-ĩ! Nũũ ũngĩgĩtaũkĩrwo nĩ marurumĩ ma ũhoti wake?”
